What are hard and soft individualisms? In this detailed ethnography
of three communities in Manhattan and Queens, Kusserow interviews
parents and teachers (from wealthy to those on welfare) on the
types of hard and soft individualisms they encourage in their
children and students. "American Individualisms" explores the
important issue of class differences in the socialization of
individualism in America. It presents American individualism not as
one single homogeneous, stereotypic life-pattern as often claimed
to be, but as variable, class-differentiated models of
individualism instilled in young children by their parents and
preschool teachers in Manhattan and Queens. By providing rich
descriptions of the situational, class-based individualisms that
take root in communities with vastly different visions of the
future, Kusserow brings social inequality back into previously
bland and generic discussions of American individualism.
